Guingate Sword

Product Description

Maximilian was a great lover of arms and armor, actually designing some armor that has since been named for him. But more impressively, he was never one to hold back when there was a good fight going on. In 1479, King Louis invaded the Netherlands, where he was met by the Emperor Maximilian. In the short, bloody battle, the French Cavalry defeated the Imperial Horse, but in the end the field was held by the Flemish infantry, with the Emperor fighting on foot in their midst. In honor of the battle we decided to name this sword the Guingate. Guingate Sword with Brass guard and pommel, bone grip.
